Something's gone very wrong.

How derailed the American psyche is, became clear to me when Michelle was sacked after the pathetic FOX blowhard Geraldo came out as a hate-spewing scumbag who declared he would publicly 'spit on her' (sic) in the immigration debate a year ago.

Instead of coming out in solidarity in support of Malkin, Fox allowed this cretin Geraldo to fall up the stairs while Michelle was let go.

Hard to get my mind around that, even now.

We're all present-day Cassandra's here.

We know the truth yet are not believed. That's the definition of a Cassandra. Enoch Powell also a Cassandra - and maligned and hated because of his prescience. Ironically, the Truth-Teller figure is usually maligned and hated, while the lie of the Emperor's new clothes is preferred.

One of my favorite quotations:

"The Truth-Teller must have one foot in the stirrup." -- Armenian proverb.

Armenian! "Um, the Turks tried to genocide us." Reaction of World: "Oh no they didn't. You're just imagining things, or it's you who hates the Turks!" Such a response is, quite often, the reward of the Truth-Teller - Disbelief. The irony of that cannot be overstated.

Posted by: MP at August 14, 2008 10:51 AM

I looked at some of the comments to Malkin, about how she and Limbaugh and Hannity should all be locked up in some Gitmo-type prison, and how the government should shut down "hate-filled" talk radio, and infiltrate "right-wing" groups (like the McCain campaign!). It's truly frightening that so many Americans actually think like this. Where have they been living for the last 30 or 40 years?
Leftists love to liken right-wingers to Hitler; but for some reason they get all indignant when one notes how close the left is to Uncle Joe, Chairman Mao, and Pol Pot. And of course they're wrong about the right being close to Hitler; Hitler was a socialist too, altho a National one rather than an International one.
And if they really want to shut down the purveyors of hate, then they should forget about talk radio, and go after the real hate-mongers: the hundreds of imams in their mosques and the hundreds of Islamic jihadist websites.
When the murderers flew those planes into the Twin Towers, they weren't shouting "Dittos to you, Rush", they were shouting "Allah akbar".

That incident with Geraldo grates on me as well. I missed seeing Michelle as a stand in for Bill Oreilly.

I lost any respect I ever had for "Mr.Sensationalist at any cost Geraldo" after his mock trial of the father & Mother of the little girl murdered in Colorado with hearsay evidence presented by gossip columnists and then making the audience the jury--It was reprehensible and disgusting.

The decade went by so quickly. It was so hard to make things out as the fog rolled in from San Francisco Bay. Does that answer your question?

Posted by: Hugh at August 14, 2008 10:54 AM

Michelle Malkin got this lovely e-mail: "Once again the hate you and folks like Hannity spew has caused another right wing nut to resort to violence."

This is insane. I have been unable to find a reference to exactly what Malkin's comments were regarding Bill Gwatney. She can be quite blunt in her criticism, but I am certain she was not calling for the poor man's death.

The crazy thing is, that rhetoric on the left tends to be even more heated, such as endless references to George Bush as a "war criminal".

I agree, equating criticizing a public figure with wishing them harm is insane, and can only serve to quash freedom of speech.

We have to choose our words carefully to avoid "giving jihadists ammunition" when our very existence is ammunition for the jihad. Anything we say is ammunition and it doesn't have to be abusive, racist or genocidal. The very idea of barring future Muslim immigration is ammunition to some. The mere suggestion that Islamic tenets render Islam incompatible with democracy is ammunition, even though Muslims themselves have said as much. Should we believe that CAIR wouldn't use such statements? Does that mean they can't be voiced? Sounds like the leftists may have already won. Their threats have done what bullets could not. Truth is ammunition to the left and to jihadists. Sometime, truth hurts.

"If Americans aren't careful"? We're supposed to fight for our rights but we can't hurt anyone's feelings? The other side doesn't play by those rules.

Unless this folly is fought rigorously, the USA will end up like Canada. If you say that homosexual behaviour is a sin (Christianity 101), you are told that you promote hate and are directly responsible for gay bashing. See http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2008/08/06/ezra-levant-how-i-beat-the-fatwa-and-lost-my-freedom.aspx

This is a very effective strategy since it changes the societies definition of respectable speech, while at the same time creates laws in which offended minorities can leverage power by kicking folks they don't like from the Public Square. It is a form of quiet fascism. See http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/jun/08060607.html

Canada is become a fascist state. I say that recognizing that often the "fascist" label is thrown around too much. What I mean is that when the government says what is acceptable speech, they are really saying what is acceptable thought, since speech is the public expression of individual and communal thought. Progressives are often closet fascists in this regard since they hold that persons may express "offensive views" individually, but they can not express them publicity or even within a public gathering of their own community (ie the Church).

History shows us that when speech is curtailed, those who wish the make the government into a god ie controls what is holy (acceptable and good) speech, that they will not be satisfied with just controlling the public square. In time, they will go for the individual thought as well. Consider the re-programming classes which are attempting to indoctrinate children into accepting that homosexual activities are good or the indoctrination stories from the UK where children can be a Muslim for a day. In many cases, parents are not allowed to pull their children from the classes and governments are moving to mandate that even Christian schools teach what is considered evil.

It's time for those who believe that a persons conscience is his/her own and that all person's have the right to share their views in public, regardless of what people think is good and right. I think Islam is a lie and one which Islam often must enforce on those enslaved to it by threats of death. While there are examples of fine Muslims, generally Islam creates a diminishment of humanity whereever it is spread; especially for woman and mostly for those who don't want to follow the teachings of a man who had 50 wives, one of which was 9 years old. If I said that in Canada publically I'd be brought up on charges, even though its true.

The truth will set you free!

I don't deliberately go to leftist web sites, but sometimes I run across them. The comments are always enlightening. I become 'enlightened' about the type of people who call themselves liberal, leftist, socialist, communist or 'progressive'. The sane comments by liberals are few, while the rantings of lunatics are numerous. Leftists are muslims without Allah.

I certainly wouldn't say I would have preferred a prominent Republican had been murdered instead, but imagine the glee on the Left if one had. Thank God that at least the deranged monkey was killed by the police.

I don't think the Dems can pull off reinstating the Unfair Fairness Doctrine. For one thing it's (talk radio) too big an industry. And monitoring blogs and telling them to post opposing views is way, way beyond absurd and would be absolutely impossible to enforce as well.

Its your sorry lot who never raises a word when Muslims perform "honor killings", demand the imposition of Shariah, murder Christians, who stay silent on female genital mutilation, and who rejoiced when London and Spain were hit by Al-Qeada.

You make it real easy for folks to link you with Muslim extremists.

And the reason you want the "fairness doctrine" back is because no one wants to listen to your elitist snots on Air America, many of whom are washed up comedians with zero talent like Al Franken. Who by the way is exposed as a tax cheat and degenerate who and now watching his political circle the drain like his Air America career.

Excellent post James Martel!
We who love Canada see the potential for that 'facism' to invade southward all too soon.
My returns to Canada to recapture the joys of my youth are tempored with the recognition of the 'conditions' currently in sway.

At the risk of a flurry of angry posts, I am always reminded of the many trusted voices I have heard over the years stating the facts of the mysterious deaths of many people in and out of Arkansas who had close relationships with the Clintons. Some unsolicited things were told to me personally by prison inmates about drug trafficking and murder that would curl your hair, so therefore, any strange death such as this very bizarre occurance does bring back these thoughts.

Strange deaths related to the Clintons? Not so bizarre.
The Left blaming Michelle Malkin--Now thats bizarre!

Hugh--I am happy to report that my foggy drug days on the left coast in the 60's have, thank God, cleared and remain a somewhat distant memory with a head shake at the obviously foolish misspentedness.

I stand by what I said. This post has nothing to do with jihad. It is a cheap talk show level post designed to elicit the usual brainless, kneejerk responses from stupid dittoheads. It is based on one email that for all we know may be a hoax or a plant. Yet some little pinheads here, who aren't worth naming do their low intellectual capacity, have attributed this email as representing all leftists, as if they all met somewhere to decide to blame Malkin, as well as freighting me down with political positions and beliefs that I have never professed.

Besides, a man was murdered and the best this blog can do is use is death to slam people who had nothing to do with it and get sympathy for a little witch who doesn't rate any. It is an ugly pointless post and I am glad I annoyed certain pinheads.

Hey darcy,
Malkin may be a little witch, but you certainly are a big pig. A man is murdered and oinking swine like you root around looking for ways to use this to your ends.

interestinconundrum,
since i am neither a leftist or a Kos-er, why should I care what they said, though it is cheap and ugly too? It is a group blog and plenty of right wing blogs come up with equally cruel and pointless stuff like that too. It does not mitigate this cheap and ugly posts or some of the replies. But Charles Johnson is a spiteful, cruel little man with delusions of granduer. He should check himself before attacking other blogs.

Since a man was murdered and godly Robert the devout Christian uses his death as an occassion to slam people who had nothing to do with it in order to garner support for someone who deserves none, on an anti-jihad blog, you got to wonder where this is heading?

Posted by: MorrisMinor at August 14, 2008 3:55 PM

All right, Morris, sweeping generalizations aside, political polarization is poisonous, and many on the Left have lost, presuming that they had, any sense of proportion or perspective. And they don't see world jihadism--and its theocratic source--as the existential threat that they should.

You missed the entire point of this thread. Robert didn't "use" anything. He merely pointed out the correlation of the negative e-mail to Malkin and its similarity to those who would squash free and open criticism of Islam.

The e-mail sender. not only advocates shutting down right-wing "haters", but also uses false accusations against the same to try to validate their fascist, anti-free speech agenda.

Reality may not be pretty, but it is reality, nonetheless.

When I am angry, from dealing with obnoxious little twits, I don't take the time to edit and spell check as one should.
